Emotions usually run high in an intense battle between two sides for a place in the knockouts of an ICC event and the game between Pakistan and Bangladesh was proof of it. Shakib Al Hasan was seen throwing his cap on the ground in anger when Nasum Ahmed missed a clear-cut run out opportunity.
Batting coach Matthew Hayden was quick to acknowledge the help from Netherlands and urged Babar Azam and Co. to enter the semifinals with a fresh mind.
While Pakistan fans were praying for a Dutch win to keep their hopes alive on Sunday, the Scott Edwards-led side needed them to beat Bangladesh in order to finish fourth in the Group 2 and automatically qualify for next edition of T20 World Cup in 2024.
